Montana High school seniors who plan to attend Montana State University in the fall of 2013 are encouraged to apply as soon as possible for scholarships through the MSU Premier Scholarship Program. The priority deadline for scholarship applications is Feb. 1, 2013.

“It’s one of my priorities to make higher education as accessible as possible,” said MSU President Waded Cruzado. “Montana high school students are the future of our state and I want to help them succeed. The benefits of a college education to one’s life and one’s career are huge.”

MSU is dedicated to making it possible for Montana students to pursue higher education through scholarships such as the Premier Scholarship. Funding for this scholarship program is provided by MSU and private donors.

Premier Scholarships will be awarded to incoming freshmen who are Montana residents and show academic promise based on ACT and/or SAT scores or grade point average. Financial need, leadership experience, activities, and honors may also be considered.

Montana high school seniors who plan to attend MSU in the fall of 2013 are encouraged to apply as soon as possible for the Premier Scholarships, which range from a one-time $1,000 scholarship, to a $3,000 scholarship that can be renewed annually for four years.

The priority deadline for scholarship applications is Feb. 1, 2013. Scholarships will be given until funds are exhausted. The scholarships can only be applied toward tuition.
